Marmite Crisps [Unilever] (Waitrose)

These are by special request from ‘Jim's Chocolate Mission’, who asked me to keep an eye for this new product. Walkers already make Marmite flavour crisps, so these do seem an odd addition to our shelves. Still, what follows is a write up of Unilever’s version of Marmite crisps. Unilever’s are sold in black packaging, where as Walkers bags are yellow.In flavour, well what can I say; they have a strong dose of Marmite goodness. There just is no mistaking the fantastic taste; the crisps are even speckled with tiny brown dots of Marmite. Marmite is perfect for crisps with its meaty (although vegetarian) strong salty taste. The Walkers variety always seemed a little toned down for me, and I know non Marmite fans who would still indulge in the Walkers crisps. I wouldn’t advise it on these ones, as these have a more authentic stronger flavour. I think they are heaven and give them the thumbs up!

Hey! Thanks for finding these - I can't wait to try them myself! Really impressed you fond them so quick! If your a Marmite crisps fan you better get used to them! The Walkers version will be leaving us all soon!!

A very good friend of mine told me about this latest Marmite product after I was bemoaning the fact that Walkers Marmite Crisps were gone from the shelves at my local grocers. I am now sitting with fingers crossed that the new Marmite Crisps will reach my local supplier soon!

I love marmite and i used to love the walkers version of the crisps, but the new version is awful, doens tatse like walkers version or even marmite. so i dont buy them anymore.pity as it was my favorite crisp flavour.
